My mom is at a conference for the weekend. They serve lunch every day, and all the meals are vegetarian, and you could request vegan meals! So I asked her what the vegan meal was, and she said, "salad, round things that were grilled and made out of beans and rice and stuff, tomato soup, fajitas with veggies". I wish I was at that conference and could eat fajitas and round things!

Ugh, job hunting is the worst! Good luck! Before you get to that super-stressed place just step away from the computer and cuddle your cat for a bit. Sometimes the best thing you can do is take a break.

Last night I slept pretty badly, had bad dreams all night long about Mad Men and car shopping and just general discomfort. (Went car shopping yesterday, found nothing, came home, watched unsettling episode of Mad Men, no big leap to figuring that one out.) But then, this morning, I woke up at my dude's house to a sound like smashing glass. He wasn't in bed, so I jumped up and was calling for him to see if he was ok. But he was in the bathroom, and didn't know what it was either. He said he heard a thump, then a pause, then the crash/smash/glass sound. I didn't hear the first thump because I was asleep. We searched the entire inside of the house, all of the windows, the entire parameter of the house and could find nothing that looked like broken glass or pottery or anything that would sound like that. We are both totally freaked out. Me because I think it was a ghost (I know...), and I didn't say that to him because he is TERRIFIED of ghosts and would probably, like, sell his house if he thought it was haunted. Him because he thinks my ex found out about us (again, I know...) and was vandalizing. But what was vandalized? We really thoroughly searched the area. Anyway, he sped off to work to make sure things were all good there. Haven't heard from him yet. But, he lives at the top of this really, really long and steep hill, and my ex only rides a bike and has only been to his house once (so I don't know if he remembers where it is). I'm still voting ghost, but I don't know which would be worse, really. Either way, what an unsettling way to start the day.

Jeez, ap, that sounds terrifying. Does he live near enough other people that it might have been someone else smashing a glass or something really loudly?

I was sitting around eating hummus chips, but I've finished the hummus chips. So tasty. Lentil chips, too - I kinda had those for breakfast (in that I ate them first after I got up). Nom. I'm waiting for the plumbers to turn up to (hopefully) install the dishwasher. Woot! I really hope the damn thing fits. I don't want another major appliance sitting in Zebby's room taking up space.

Agreed! I find the crunch Biscoff far superior.

Also, I love that second pic of the Taylor Swift/Justin Beiber face off. Something about Taylor Swift as Justin Beiber in that shot is really striking and lovely.

AP--could the dog have knocked something over?

rachell37, He does, but it sounded like it was in the house, and no one was out and about when we went outside to look. I mean, it sounded like it was either in the basement, or in the next room. And ndpittman, we really searched and searched, nothing was broken anywhere in the house, and Mike wasn't acting guilty or anything. So odd. Anyway, things were fine when my guy got to work, so it's looking more and more like ghost to me.

I swear, the only time my principal makes announcements on the PA is when someone has been mugged. The frequency of muggings during broad daylight just keeps going up around here. There was an attempted one before school this morning! There have been tons during lunch and right after school and they were at gunpoint!

I walk a mile each way to and from public transit. I'm starting to get so paranoid about my walks.

And now a mouse just ran across the floor of my classroom, crying in terror/pain, fell on the ground and began spasming in agony and is now completely still. I think it must've eaten poison.

THIS DAY IS SO UPSETTING SEND HELP.

Update: the mouse kept twitching and squeaking, so I gently herded him into a cardboard box with a paper plate and brought him outside. He's now under a bush where he is still twitching and crying, but at least he won't die on linoleum.

I feel so awful. Poor little mouse!

I found that the only thing I could do to dull the pain from my cramps enough for me to breathe was to take 3 naproxen and 1 iron pill. It still hurts but I was able to move a bit finally.

DC, I don't know what to say but hopefully this kitten will cheer you up:

I'm really pissed at my mom. So Chester has been sick. And it's a contagious sick, we went to the vet, vet confirmed this - my mom is sitting there listening to the vet as she says to keep our dogs separate. BECAUSE HE IS CONTAGIOUS. So what's my mom do a few hours later? Puts them outside together and leaves. I come outside to see her dog eating my dog's puke and force her to come inside and tell my mom and now her dog is sick and she's mad at me. Sometimes she goes to great lengths for the dogs so it's not like she doesn't care - hell she just paid $1,000 on Chester because I couldn't. But goddamn. Can you not see what is in front of your face? Our dogs live together so there's a good chance she was going to get sick anyway, but why would you just leave them outside together the very same day the vet said don't do that?

I'm having the same issue. I'm taking a medication that says not to take ibuprofen with it, and the only painkillers I have in my house are ibuprofen (OK, and cocodamol, which makes me throw up, and I already feel nauseous). I've been refilling my hot water bottle every hour or so and alternating between my back and my stomach. Total waste of a day off. I'm tempted to call in sick tomorrow (though I'll probably be fine by then).
